Traveling can be profound and impactful, light and fun, or anywhere in between, but regardless of what type of experience we’ve had, the end of a trip can often leave us with a sense of sadness that it’s over. We always make a point to take lots of photos during our travels so that we can look back on our experiences later, though sometimes pictures alone just don’t do the memories justice.

Here are a few other ways we’ve started documenting our trips so that we can keep these journeys close to our hearts for years to come.

Keep a Journal

We love reading through our old journals so that we can revisit the memories from a particular trip with first-hand descriptions. Take a few minutes at the end of each day to write about your experiences. You can also use tape or a glue stick to include things like ticket stubs in your journal to make it feel like a scrapbook.

Send Yourself Postcards

This one may require a bit more work, but we find it really fun to come home from a trip to a mailbox full of postcards. Buy a few along with some stamps on your first day in your destination, write on one at the end of each day, and then just drop them in a mailbox.

Use Social Media

Whether you prefer Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or any other platform, make use of your social media accounts by using them documenting your travels in real-time. Take pictures and upload them with captions describing how it feels to be there or film stories of yourself and any travel companions and save them to a highlight reel.

In the age of smartphones and social media, sharing the details of your travels with those close to you has never been quicker and simpler. This is why many believe postcards are a thing of the past. But it isn’t quite so.

The reason why you can still buy a postcard anywhere you go is because there are still people who buy them and send them. And so should you. Here is why.

They Are the Best Souvenirs

Forget about key chains or magnets; postcards are the best souvenirs. They can be put in a frame, hung on the wall, or slapped on a fridge and will look cool.

They Are Personalized

Everyone will appreciate more the effort of you taking the time to write a message than just picking out some random item from a souvenir shop.

They Are Cheap

If you don’t have money to spend on expensive gifts, then postcards can be a budget-friendly way of letting people at home know that you didn’t forget them while on an adventure.

They Come With a Surprise Factor

People are rarely getting stuff in the mail now. By surprising them with a postcard that arrives when they are not expecting, you’ll make sure it’s something they will remember for a long time.

Most people see postcards as an outdated and old-fashioned way of keeping in touch, and they became a thing of the past with the emergence of social media. If you don’t want to leave them in the past, mailing a postcard to yourself is a great travel ritual you should start, and here are three things that make it amazing.

Affordable Souvenir

Postcards are one of the most affordable souvenirs on the market, and that’s part of the reason why they used to be so popular in the past. Even after you spend a few extra bucks on stamps, they’ll still cost you less than pretty much any other trinket at the souvenir shop.

Waiting Game

It will take some time for postcards to reach you, but it’s fun to play the waiting game. There’s something really special about holding them in your hands and reliving all your amazing memories after reaching home.

Amazing Memories

Postcards are much more than a nice picture—they also allow you to tell a story. It’s up to you what you’re going to write on your postcard, and it will be pretty fun to remember all the special details in the years to come. Other classic souvenirs may be more aesthetically pleasing, but none of them allows you to preserve memories this way.
